Kruse. formerly VI rs. Marie K. Pi(t
att. was yesterday allowel a decree
of divorce from th hotel man by
rrMlna Judse Kavanauah.
The decree was obtained by mutual

of law In the case.
Treatment Held Iskssiss.
The conclusions of lam- arrived at by
Judae Karanaugh erivo In summarised
form the cuw of action pleaded by
Mrs Kruse. The Judae finds:
That the defendant has been arullty
of cruel and Inhuman treatment and
personal Indlcnltie towards the plain
tiff, rendering her life burdensome.
That said defendant was animated
bv a maligns nt deire to annoy and
t.aras the plaintiff, and his said cruel
ami inhuman treatment was willful and
Intentional."
Mrs. Kruse was s Homed tn resume
the name which she bore before mar
riage. Marie K. Uaggett. When she
married Kruse at (iearhart. Or.. Sep
tember 7. she was the widow
of F. E- Pargett. a former proprietor

the extent of t!cn, and that she waa
also jriven an automobile and a launch.
It Is presumed that she also secured
some cush.

"Frequently during the months of
January to June, Inclusive, In 1911, In
and about the Belvedere Hotel and
Louvre Ortll. defendant In the pres
ence of mutual friends and acquaint
ances, patrons and employes did treat
plaintiff In a contemptuous and scorn
ful manner by openly flirting with and
paying marked and familiar atten
tions to various female customers of
the restaurant. and by neglecting
plaintiff publicly In a manner to excite
and provoke the comment of patrons,
customers and employes.' Mrs. Kruse
declared In her complaint.
'Purine; all of this time," she com
plained, "he conducted himself to
wards plaintiff In a rude, disdainful
and contemptuous manner, and will
fully and Intentionally heaped con
tumely and humiliation upon her with
a malignant desire and purpose of an
noying and hararslnir plaintiff and In
juring her feelings."
Mrs. Kruse told Judge Kavanaugh
fiat hr husband suddenly disappeared
on August 21. 111, after he had signed
a lease to operate the Carlton Hotel
and while the work of furnishing and
equipping was at Its height, without
notice or warning to her or anyone. At
that time, she said, his affairs were tn
a precarious condition, but she man
aged to effect arrangements with hi
creditors which prevented suits and at
tachments and the wrecking of bis
business, and obtaining cancellation of
large number of contracts and ob
ligations which he had assumed on ac
count of the Carlton.
Affaire Capably Managed.
She declared that she preserved his
business Inta.t. preventing the dis
solution of his property and assets,
and continued the management of the
hotl and restaurant. She pointed to
the fart that he had admitted publicly
since his return that hla affairs bad
bn capably managed.
The plaintiff, continuing: her story,
said that she heard from him first In
Quebec. Canada, about two weeks after
Ins disappearance He had Informed

never see him again. Learning subse
quently that he was In Germany, she

presence of t.Ms son to others that
"since hla wife had died he had re
tired from business.'' and on belns; tip
braided by the aon for making; the
statement, said In effect: "Well. If she

that business will kill her."
c-'he haa been forced to send money
to the son to return to America, hia

traveled over Kurope. visiting among
other placea Monte Carlo, Rome. Naples
and Genoa.
Kraae Fail, ts Relura.
The wife explained that Kruse had
written to several friends In Portland
while on his travels, but never sent
her a single l'ne. nor did he Inquire
concerning her. she had once written
begging htm to return and protect his
commercial honor, but had received no
reply. In February last, she aald In
continuing her rarratlve. he wrote t
various friends In Portland that he
would return In March and resume
control of his affairs, but she received
directly no notification of any kind
as to Ms Intentions.
"He returned on March H." Mrs.
Kruse said, "and gave friendly greet
ings and handshakes to all. includ
ing waiters, rouki and Chinamen, but
nd not even make Inquiry concerning
plaintiff. absolutely ignoring her.
Three days later plaintiff met him In
tlie office of the hotel, but he did
not speak or notice her In any way.
On two occasions since she has been
In the same room with him and ha
has absolutely Ignored her"
Ts VYIvea Obtala Illverrva.
Kruse secured a divorce from hla
first wife several years ago, daring
her absence In Kurope. On her return

rr and the case was settled, the
l.otr'.man giving her several thousand
dollars in money and property. She

In June. 1S. she was allowed a di

Tie atiOnJ Mr. Kruse la now liv

paying her at the rate of $125 a month
and after hla disappearance she started
suit at Oregon City through Ralph
Citron, a Portland attorney, to collect
$500 back alimony. The suit waa di
rected against Robert W. Pchmeer.

Bank, who acted aa trustee for Kruse's
creditors after Kruse disappeared.
The Chicago woman waa successful

The Mrs. Kruse who yesterday se
cured a divorce and who now is Marl

and property distributed among three
women, one of whom he divorced and
two who secured- dlvorcea from him.

T HE candidacy of Cummin for

waa made at the Portland by Jame A.
Smith, of 0age, Iowa, who conducts
a chain of lumber yards In four states.
"Cummin is our favorite son. and the
Ideal of our 'Progressives,' but It must
not be thought that his strength will
at any time be turned over to Roose

Mr. Taft. The latter haa secured eight
delegates, and may get some more, but
the majority of tbe balance will be for
Cummins.
"The Iowa Democrats are dally grow

to operate freight or -steam service
over the tracks In Fourth street. While
attorneys for the company have ad
mitted that the city can exerclne police
power in limiting traffic on any street,
they deny that the terms of the orig
inal franchise can be modified so as
to restrict the privileges under that
franchise.
If the courts finally determine that
the Council can oust the company from
Fourth street, it ia naturally sup
posed that a new franchise to run for
a limited number of years and provid
ing for common user privileges will be
offered. It Is a question whether the
railroad will accept a meaaure of this
kind. .
More t'onalderatloa "Sought.
"The railroad people feel." said Mr.
Fenton. "that the Council did not give
the question reasonable consideration.
We expect that a hearing will bring
out some additional Information."
Directors of the Southern Pacific
have appropriated approximately 1.
600.000 for the electrification of the
Fourth-rstrect and Yamhill divisions of
the lines radiating from Portland and
for various other Improvements at

among which is double-tracking of
Fourth street so that electric cars be

Pending the solution of the franchise
problem much of this money will re

DUBLIN", April S. (Special.) Rich
ard Croker has come to the aid of a
number of Irish athletes who have de
cided to abandon Phoenix Park as a
practicing ground. For quite a number
of yenrs a. place known as the "Nine

the Gaelic Athletic Association for

is the guiding spirit In their determi
nation. Their "ground" Is In the Im
mediate vicinity of the spot where Lord
Frederlrk Cavendish and Mr. Burke
were assassinated In 1882 a fact. In
Itself, sufficient to attract to the
neighborhood quite a number of those
who have no sympathy with the Gaelic
movement or with anyone professing
allegiance to It.
Efforts have been made from time to
time to obliterate the actual scene of
the tragedy, but without success and.
finding that each succeeding year only
helps to attract more "undesirables,"
the Gaelic athletes determined to de
sert the "Nine Acres" and go else
where. Xn a new ground at "Glen-
cairn." Croker' sporting estate, they
will be free from the crowd to whom
morbidity Is more attractive than
healthy sport. There will not be the
same facilities for Inviting all Ireland
to see the athletic displays as there
were In the park, but there will be
sufficient room for the "boy" to wield
tho Camans to the delight of their
friends, and to kick the ball under con
ditions which will be new to the ma
jority of those who follow Gaelic sports
In Ireland, especially to young athletes
In the neighborhood of Dublin.
"TIM" HEALY LOSES POWER
Old-Time Irish Political Leader No
Longer Conspicuous.
LONDON. April 6. (Special.)
Whether home rule becomes a reality
or not, "Tim" Healy, It is reported, will
not be a conspicuous figure much long
er In Irish politics. He finds himself
out of touch with almost every shade
of political opinion In his own country,
and U H were not for the Influence
which William O'Brien wield over the
southeastern corner of Ireland Healy
would not have a seat in tho British
Parliament today.
It Is significant that "Tim" at this
crisis In the history of his country has
removed his residence from Dublin to
London, where he la now trying to build
up a practice at the English bar. What
ever may be the views of his opponents
in Ireland, there Is no doubt as to hla
having made great sacrifices for the
attitude he has taken up toward John
Redmond and those who now follow
the Irish leader. He had a most re
munerative practice at the Irish bar.
but now it has practically disappeared,
with no hope of recovery even If he re
nounced O'Brien and again swore al
legiance to Redmond.
It Is a peculiar circumstance that
the Irish Unionists, although they will
always support him against a Nation
alist, would openly repudiate him if
he began to lead them in any capacity
whatever. In all this there Is not the
fulfilment of the hope based on what
promised to be a brilliant career both
legally and politically.

Lafferty Gets Warm Applause in House
Oregon Insurgent Says People
Want Progressive Laws .
The Congressional Record of March 28, 1912, con
tains a speech of Representative A. W. Lafferty,
which was vigorously applauded in the House. The
bill prohibiting the use of white sulphur in the
manufacture of matches, which has been shown to
be dangerous to the health and life of employes, was
under discussion. Lafferty made known his views
upon public questions in no uncertain tones, and
declared in favor of Robert Marion La Follette for
President. Mr. Lafferty said :
"Mr. Chairman: I favor this bill because I place
humanity, even though clothed in overalls or calico,
so far above the dollar that there is absolutely no
comparison.
"When I first came to Congress I could not con
ceive how a patriotic body like this could continue
to delay in the passage of a law giving the Interstate
Commerce Commission the power to fix rates based
upon physical valuations. But I have learned a few
things that ought to be humiliating to every Ameri
can citizen. Big business, so-called, is swaggering
around this Capitol and throughout the country, at
tempting to control politics and legislation. It at
tempts, first, to cajole members of this body, and,
failing in that, it seeks to intimidate them and
make them fear the results of its power in the nest
succeeding election.
"I might be alarmed myself if I was so distrustful
of the intelligence andcourage of my constituents
as to believe that they could be stampeded with a
weapon made up of a corncob with a lightning bug
on the end of it. The artillery of the interest-serving
newspapers fighting me is just about of that
caliber.
"In this House I have stood for exactly what, I
promised in my campaign for election. If I am ad
vocating wrong Governmental policies, the people of
my district are responsible, and I think they are
willing to accept that responsibility. I have intro
duced La Toilette's appraisement bill here, and have
made speeches for it. I exposed the Oregon & Cali
fornia Railroad land-grant steal, asking this body to
wake up the slumbering litigation pending at Port
land in reference to it. and to sec to it that no fur
ther delays are tolerated.
"I have not flinched, and I do not propose to
flinch. If I give up the fighl, the bugle will have
to sound the retreat from the rear.
"The people of this country are paj-ing dividends
upon billions of dollars of overcapitalization. No
one denies it. Yet no remedy is forthcoming. Whyf
Big business in politics.
"Oregon has taken the initiative in leading the
country out of this big-business, bondage. Oregoa
gave us the direct primary, Statement No. 1, the in

least, the Presidential preference law.
"Last year in Oregon the old guard made its last

that held that assembly are now backing my princi
pal opponent. They belittle my fight for the peo
ple, and promise for their candidate 'action, not
words.' If they can explain to me how they can get
action in this body without words, I will subscribe
to their slogan.
"A public-service commission in each state and a
National Public Service Commission are npedpd to
control monopolies. These commissions shonld be
given power by law to fix rates and prices of monop
olies based upon physical valuations. When this is
done, every man who works for a living, either at
his trade or profession, will be able to buy with tne
money he takes in, a good living for himself and
family. He will be able to take a vacation of at
least 30 days each year. He will be able to educate
his children. He will be able to lay by a little for his
old age. This legislation should be followed by an
eight-hour law for men and women iu every state
in the Union.
"In conclusion permit me to say that Robert
Marion La Follette represents my ideals of fair and
honest government. (Applause.) A few weeks ago
it was reported that La Follette was no longer avail
able as a candidate this year because he was broken
in health -after his 20 years' fight for the people. I
then said to myself that Robert La Follette would
get one vote if I get to the polls in Portland on
primary election day, April 19." (Applause.)

ing to let two or three generations of

while the colleges were slowly gather
ing endowments, the state enlarged her
heart and began to give generously to
the university that, under the ordinance
of 177, had been planted In each com
monwealth of the Northwest and en
dowed with public lands.
Thanks to the agitation for state
aid, the people of the West have come
to a different conception of the role
of higher education from the people of
the Northeast. They regard it less aa
the basis of individual success than as
a sure means of social progress, and
they agreed that the state should bear
a part of the cost of social progress.
In the last 15 years, moreover, the omi
nous drift toward economic Inequality
has made them solicitous to bring about
a greater equality of opportunity.
To' make education free from sill to
capstone appeals to them as one safe
way to counteract the sinister forces
of social stratification. It Is this un
spoken concern for the future of dem
ocracy that prompt the two or three
millions of people In a Western state
to build up a university that would be
the glory of a European kingdom.
